Can I Get A Little Support Here?

We’ll start with Best Supporting Actress because, well, meh.  I was not impressed with either Amy Adams or Melissa Leo in The Fighter so I can’t vote for either of them.  But I didn’t see any of the other films from which the actresses are nominated. So, I’m going to vote for Mila Kunis in Black Swan, simply because the movie intrigues me and I’ve loved Mila Kunis ever since she was Jackie on That 70’s Show.
Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale in The Fighter. Hands down. No question. No contest.  Before I had seen The Fighter, I saw that Jeremy Renner was up for the award and said “Jeremy Renner should win it. I don’t care how good Christian Bale's performance is, Renner beats him because he was brilliant in The Town. He made that movie.”  Please pass the salt because I am eating those words. Bale gave one of THE BEST performances I have ever seen in his role as a washed-up, drug addicted boxer.  I don’t know that anyone else could have portrayed the actual man better (they show a clip of the real Dickie at the end of the film). Bale is amazing and should get that award. The End.
